Specialties
Corey Cohen is Principal of The Roebling Team at Compass and publisher of the Roebling Index, a real estate research and data platform covering New York City buildings, transactions and market conditions.
Over more than thirteen years in New York real estate, Corey has completed 325 transactions representing more than $400 million in volume. He advises buyers and sellers on cooperative and condominium valuation, pricing strategy, negotiation and complex deal execution.
Corey’s residential practice focuses on Manhattan’s established cooperative, condominium and townhouse market, including Park Avenue, Fifth Avenue, Central Park West, Central Park South, the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Tribeca and West Chelsea.
His work is grounded in building-level analysis. Comparable sales, condition and timing are only part of an apartment’s valuation. Property-tax schedules, carrying costs, building finances, regulatory obligations and future marketability can materially affect both what a property is worth and how it should be positioned.
Corey created the Roebling Index to examine those issues systematically. The platform draws on hundreds of thousands of recorded transactions and supports thousands of public building profiles, market indices, regulatory research and structured diligence tools.
The research directly informs Corey’s brokerage work. For buyers, that means evaluating the apartment, the building and the future cost of ownership—not merely the asking price. For sellers, it means anticipating how buyers will assess the property and using that analysis to inform pricing, presentation and negotiation.
Corey also publishes The Roebling Report, an analytical column covering New York City housing, market structure, building governance, property taxes and residential transactions.
The Roebling Team combines the attention and flexibility of a focused advisory practice with Compass’s technology, national network and market reach. Corey is a Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker based at Compass’s Upper West Side office.
What Clients Are Saying
Trusted by buyers, sellers, and investors navigating some of New York's most complex transactions."I'm a very picky buyer. I needed a specific building with specific zoning, and as an out-of-area buyer, I was navigating neighborhoods and lease language I didn't fully understand. After several deals that almost came together — and a few that just fell through — Corey landed exactly what I wanted and negotiated a better deal than expected." - Chip Baker | Founder, Cultivate Supply
"Corey brought deep insight into the NYC market and remained highly engaged from our very first conversation through closing. He made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and seamless — we always felt informed, supported, and confident at every step." - Erica Kazlow
"Corey Cohen showed great initiative — providing timely research on properties, education on the process, and recommended reliable professional resources. He responded personably and quickly to every question. An excellent experience from start to finish." - Kim Pimley | Chairman & Co-Founder, Pimley & Pimley Group
"Their targeted marketing strategy yielded two competitive offers within two weeks of listing. From contract signing to closing, Corey stayed in close contact and shepherded us every step of the way." - Iliadelis Family
"I thought: I don't need another broker to send me listings I'm already seeing online. And then I met Corey. He stuck by our side through a search for a diamond in the rough and guided us through an extremely difficult negotiation. Corey is much more than a broker — he is an advisor and a friend" - Adam Stein | Vice President, SPK/Lewis Construction
"We had a long, hard slog of a house hunt — three boroughs, two states, nearly a year. We saw brokers from the big, well-known NYC agencies. Corey really stood out. He's not afraid to give his honest opinion: he'll tell you when you've found a dud or when the price is too high, even though it costs him a commission. When you've been looking as long as we were, you realize how rare that is. We got a great deal on the property we eventually settled on — at the low end, possibly even slightly below market value." - Donna Hawes
"We started looking in December 2020, peak of Covid. Corey helped us navigate and evaluate 25+ apartments across the Upper East and West Side, arming us with research and expertise at every step. After we had an accepted offer, he guided us strategically through the co-op application and closing. We couldn't have done it without him." - Sharon Mei
"Corey's knowledge of the co-op process — which can be especially confusing for a first-time buyer — was invaluable. My transaction ended up being longer than expected, but his patience and constant reassurance made a stressful process much more manageable." - Ryan Chun | Technology Executive
